THINK YOU'RE HAVING A BAD DAY....
check it out these actual cases.
Fire authorities in California found a corpse in a burned-out section
of forest while assessing the damage done by a forest fire. The
deceased male was dressed in a full wet suit, complete with scuba tanks
on his back, flippers, and face mask. A postmortem test revealed that the man
died not from burns, but from massive internal injuries. Dental records
provided a positive identification. Investigators then set about to
determine how a fully-clad diver ended up in the middle of a forest
fire.
It was revealed that on the day of the fire, the man went diving off
the coast, some 20 miles from the forest. The fire fighters, seeking to
control the fire as quickly as possible, had called in a fleet of
helicopters with very large dip buckets. Water was dipped from the
ocean and emptied at the site of the forest fire. You guessed it. One
minute
our diver was making like Flipper in the Pacific, the next, he was doing
the breast stroke in a fire dip bucket 300 feet in the air. Some days
it just doesn't pay to get out of bed.

Still think you're having a bad day? A man was working on his
motorcycle on the patio, his wife nearby in the kitchen. While racing
the engine, the motorcycle accidentally slipped into gear. The man, still
holding onto the handlebars, was dragged along as it burst through the
glass patio doors. His wife, hearing the crash, ran in the room to
find her husband cut and bleeding, the motorcycle, and the shattered
patio door. She called for an ambulance and, because the house sat on a
fairly large hill, went down the several flights of stairs to meet the
paramedics and escort them to her husband. While the attendants were
loading her husband, the wife managed to right the motorcycle and push
it outside. She also quickly blotted up the spilled gasoline with some
paper towels and tossed them into the toilet. After being treated and
released, the man returned home, looked at the shattered patio door and
the damage done to his motorcycle. He went into the bathroom and
consoled himself with a cigarette while attending to his business. About
to stand, he flipped the butt between his legs. The wife, who was in the
kitchen, heard a loud explosion and her husband screaming. Finding him
lying on the bathroom floor with his trousers blown away and burns on
his buttocks, legs and groin, she once again phoned for an ambulance.
The same paramedic crew was dispatched. As the paramedics carried the man
down the stairs to the ambulance they asked the wife how he had come to burn
himself. She told them. They started laughing so hard, one slipped,
tipping the stretcher and dumping the husband out. He fell down the
remaining stairs, breaking his arm.

Still having a bad day? Just remember, it could be worse...
The average cost of rehabilitating a seal after the Exxon Valdez oil
spill in Alaska was $80,000. At a special ceremony, two of the most
expensively
saved animals were being released back into the wild amid cheers and
applause from onlookers. A minute later, in full view, a killer whale
ate them both.

Still think you are having a bad day? A woman came home to find her
husband in the kitchen shaking frantically, almost in a dancing frenzy,
with some kind of wire running from his waist towards the electric
kettle. Intending to jolt him away from the deadly current, she whacked
him with a handy plank of wood, breaking his arm in two places. Up to that
moment, he had been happily listening to his Walkman.

STILL think you're having a bad day? Two animal rights protesters
were protesting at the cruelty of sending pigs to a slaughterhouse in
Bonn, Germany. Suddenly, all two thousand pigs broke loose and escaped
through a broken fence, stampeding madly. The two hopeless protesters
were trampled to death.

What?! STILL having a bad day?? Iraqi terrorist Khay Rahnajet didn't
pay enough postage on a letter bomb. It came back with "return to
sender" stamped on it. Forgetting it was the bomb, he opened it and was
blown to bits. There now, feeling better?
